Official press release:
Connecticut’s self-deprecating noise rock entity Intercourse are set to deliver their crushing new full-length, How I Fell In Love With The Void, on September 12th via Brutal Panda Records, today unveiling the hilariously disturbing new video for “The Ballad Of Max Wright”.
How I Fell In Love With The Void was recorded by Chris Teti (The World Is A Beautiful Place And I Am No Longer Afraid To Die) at Silver Bullet Studios in Harwinton, Connecticut, and mastered by George Richter (Thy Will Be Done). The photograph on the album cover was shot by Sherilyn Furneaux (Portrayal Of Guilt) and features exotic dancer Clementine.
The new video for “The Ballad Of Max Wright” was directed by Nathaniel Shannon.
Intercourse vocalist Tarek Ahmed reveals:
“I fell into a heavy Alf binge on Tubi and ended up Googling the cast, where I learned Max Wright hated being on the show, mostly due to his being resentful over being a Broadway-caliber thespian who was now most famously known for playing the straight man to a Muppet. To me, it was prime Intercourse song material. Around this time, we also made a shirt with him on it and when I posted it my friend, Nathaniel Shannon, replied to a post of said shirt saying he owns an Alf costume, and we should do a video. Fast forward two years later, and the song is written/recorded, so I just hit him up and told him to run with whatever he wanted. His treatment was Surviving The Game, with Alf, which was cool with us. He nailed the vibe 100% and we couldn’t be happier with the video. The dude who plays Max Wright kills it, total immersion!”
How I Fell In Love With The Void will be released on LP with multiple limited variants as well as CD, MC, and digitally on September 12th. Preorders are live at the Brutal Panda store HERE.
Additional previews of the album will drop over the weeks ahead.
